Hurricane Patricia

I just wanted to express our thanks to all of you who prayed for us and the people of Mexico. Our hearts go out to those who suffered damage and loss during the hurricane. Fortunately for us, we were far enough away that it didn't affect our area. It appears that because of the high mountains near the coast, the hurricane had dissipated quickly and pretty much only affected it's direct line.

I have copied a couple of photos. One is the google map showing Cofradia's location. The other is a photo I found in an article from the Weather Channel showing the Hurricane's path. For those of you who are interested, you will see where the hurricane travelled and how close/far away it was from us.

Notice below that Cofradia (the red dot) is north of the city of "Tepic"in the state of Nayarit...

Below you will see the path of the storm. Notice that it was south of Tepic, but north of Guadalajara as it traveled the state line of Nayarit and Jalisco...

As you can see, it made landfall quite a ways south of us, but travelled closer. It passed by about 1 ½ to 2 hours (driving) away.
